Mercies of God to us

  1. 34 days with Timothy; 1 day of unmuted joy before we knew about the heart defect

  2. Tremendous support of family and friends

  3. New friends who we haven't met but have held up Timothy and our family in prayer

  4. The best doctors and nurses at one of the best hospitals in the world

  5. Luke and Mark who daily bring us joy with their smiles and innocent happiness

  6. Preparation for his death in the form of 1) uncertainty on the day of surgery; 2) a noticeable turn for the worse on Friday

  7. Transportation to the hospital every day in cars loaned to us by friends

  8. The ability to be with Timothy several hours before and after his death

  9. That many in our family visited Timothy in his last week

  10. The times we had with Timothy when he was awake and alert and seemed to be smiling back at us.  These times were the most precious and will live with us forever.

  11. Todd's freedom from work obligations to be with his family this month

  12. A compassionate and gracious hospital staff on the night of his passing
